OPERATING THE MOWER

Safe Mower Practice

WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS -Take extreme care do not
mow across the supply cable. If this should occur, switch off immedi-
ately and disconnect the plug from the power supply. Carefully exam-
ine the cable for cuts and damage. A defective cable must be replaced
before the mower is used again. Always be aware of the location of the
supply cable in relationship to the mower and the grass area. Do not
allow the cable to become hidden in uncut grass. Keep the cable over
the cut area at all times. A cable which is out of sight is out of mind
and this could lead to a hazardous situation. Plan a 'cutting scheme'
which works away from the power supply point and ensures that the
cable is trailed out over the cut area. Work up and down the lawn in
rows. Turn the machine round at the end of the row and step across the
cable so that the cable is trailed along in the cut area on the return run.
When working around flower beds, prevent the cable from trailing
across the cultivated area by positioning a stake at the corner of the
bed. Do not allow the cable to be pulled around sharp obstructions.
Stop mowing immediately if cable resistance is felt and remove the
obstruction. Do not allow the cable to become entangled.
WARNING: PREVENT ACCIDENTS - Switch off, remove plug
from mains before adjusting, cleaning or if the cable is entangled.
